Anfield market report L4 2, Liverpool
The L4 2 (Anfield) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 2,794 HM Land Registry entries for L4 2 (Liverpool), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 10 registered 2026 sales put the L4 2 (Liverpool) median at £127,500, up 55% on five years earlier, with a mean of £131,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £1,260 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 2,794 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
L4 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside L4 (Liverpool). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What L4 2 homes really sell for

Price per square metre in L4 2
Measured by floor area, the last five years of L4 2 sales average about £1,260 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, L4 2 runs 55% below it.

| 1995 | £22,800 | £49,564 | 96 |
In cash terms the typical L4 2 home went from £22,800 in 1995 to £127,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 157%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the L4 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+79.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−19.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.3% | +3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +9.1% | +4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +10.7% | +7.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
L4 2 recorded 10 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 152 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the L4 2 market
Only 10 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes L4 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
What tenants pay around L4 2
For renting purposes L4 2 sits in Liverpool. The ONS average private rent there is £901 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £677 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,279, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Liverpool
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £127,500 median sold price, £901 a month is £10,812 a year, a gross yield of 8.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

This is what you could actually buy today: 85 homes currently on the market from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole L4 district, not just L4 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 14% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in L
Real sold prices by size across the L area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £247,500 | £342,995 (+39%) | £545,000 (+59%) | £755,000 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £194,995 (+22%) | £245,000 (+26%) | £350,000 (+43%) | £445,000 (+27%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
